About this course
The prevalence of chronic pain in the United States is estimated at 35.5% according to results of a recent health interview summary. Interestingly, many chronic intractable, benign pain and chronic recurrent pain syndromes may not respond to traditional medical and medication management approaches. When this occurs, productivity and emotional well-being can be negatively impacted for both pain patients and caregivers. Mental health professionals and allied healthcare workers can play a key role in the treatment of chronic pain syndromes, both exclusively and as a resource for/adjunct to physicians. This course provides theory-and evidence-based psychological components adaptable to clinical practice for this patient population. The pathophysiology of pain is identified and a detailed presentation of the psychological features of chronic pain syndromes is provided. Nonpharmacological treatment alternatives that address the whole person and that utilize mental health strategies are discussed.
